How does an electrical breaker work to protect my home?
An electrical breaker acts as a safety switch. When too much current flows through a circuit, it 'trips' and shuts off the power. This prevents overheating wires, which could cause a fire. Each breaker in your panel protects a specific circuit. If a breaker trips repeatedly, it signals an underlying issue needing professional attention.
